FINS/TCP Method Section 8-3
FINS/TCP Connection Status (Word n+24)
While a connection with a remote node is established, the bit corresponding to
the FINS/TCP connection status turns ON in the section of the CPU Bus Unit
words allocated in the CIO Area. The bit turns OFF if the connection is termi-
nated by a communications error or a FINS command (i.e., FINS/TCP CON-
NECTION REMOTE NODE CHANGE REQUEST).
Note The starting word of the FINS/TCP Connection Status Area is different in the
CS1W-ETN21 and CJ1W-ETN21 Ethernet Units; it is n+23 in the Ethernet
Units. If a ladder program using FINS/TCP communications was created for
Ethernet Units, and is being reused for EtherNet/IP Units and built-in Ether-
Net/IP ports, change the word starting word address for this area from n+23 to
n+24.

Communications
Procedure
With FINS/TCP, FINS node addresses are exchanged immediately after a
connection is established. This makes it possible to determine the FINS node
addresses to which the 16 connection numbers, and to manage them in an
internal table.
After a connection has been established as a FINS/TCP server, it is termi-
nated in the following ways.
• When the connection is closed by the client.
• When a FINS command to close the connection (FINS/TCP CONNEC-
TION REMOTE NODE CHANGE REQUEST) is sent by the client.
• When there is no response from the client when the keep-alive function is
in effect.
